These Premises Are Patrolled by Guard Dogs Sign
Product code: PSS-LC-PRV-0007
Guard-dog signage is a critical legal safeguard for commercial yards, warehouses, and industrial properties where guard dogs patrol the perimeter. Under the Civil Liability Act and state companion-animal legislation, occupiers have a duty to warn of unusual hazards. A visible notice strengthens your defence in the event of a trespasser incident and deters unauthorised entry.
Material
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.
Viewing distance is indicative; check approach distance, lighting and mounting position for the site.

Frequently asked questions
Is a guard-dog sign legally required?
In most Australian states, occupiers must warn of unusual dangers on their property. Without a visible notice, a trespasser injured by a guard dog may pursue a claim against you. Install at every perimeter entry, gate, and access point.
What size should I choose for a large perimeter?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Which material is best for wet or coastal conditions?
Colorbond and aluminium resist rust and UV degradation in harsh environments. Vinyl is lightweight and affordable but less durable outdoors. Lamination adds a protective seal to any material.
Can I combine this with other security signage?
Yes. Many sites display guard-dog notices alongside security-patrol, CCTV, and restricted-area signs. Platinum Signs can coordinate sizing and finish across your full security signage suite.
How are signs mounted?
Pre-drilled holes are available for wall, post, or gate mounting. Stainless-steel fasteners are recommended to prevent rust staining and corrosion.
